Description

An enchanting and intriguing exploration of the literary, folkloric, artistic and historical significance of 15 British wild flowers, with black-and-white illustrations. From cheerfully ubiquitous primroses to the extraordinarily rare ghost orchid, the text weaves anecdotes, history, art and trivia, demonstrating how even the most ordinary of flowers has extraordinary stories to tell.
